I am always giving zucchini away because it just grows like crazy. My neighbors mother will make up this relish from time to time that is just delicious. I use it to make the best tartar sauce in the world amongst other things. One day she sent me the recipe. So as not to ever forget it, I am posting it here for me and the world to use:

12 cups ground zucchini – yellow squash or cucumbers

4 cups ground onions

2 large red peppers or pimento, ground

2.5 cups vinegar

5 cups sugar

1 tbsp. ground dry mustard

3/4 tsp nutmeg

3/4 tsp tumeric

1.5 tsp celery seed

1tsp ground black pepper

2 tbps corn starch

5 tbsp salt

Put zucchini, onions through grinder. Mix well with 5 tbsp salt. Let stand overnight and then rinse with cold water. Drain well in colander.

In a large kettle, mix the 8 remaining ingredients and cook till it starts to thicken (though it won’t thicken much at all). Then add ground ground vegetables and mix and cook slowly for 30-45 mins.
